Thanks for providing the link, Mark, can't imagine why I failed to do so myself. nick --- In Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com, Mark Pulver <mark@...> wrote:

havent tried it either but i just built one of those jyetech dso scopes, not bad considering it was only 35 euros On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 8:55 PM, Nick <nick_blackburn@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > > > Thanks for providing the link, Mark, can't imagine why I failed to do so > myself. > > nick > > > --- In Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com <Doepfer_a100%40yahoogroups.com>, Mark > Pulver <mark@...> wrote: > > > > > > fwiw, that's V_D_-01: > > > > http://www.mfberlin.de/Produkte/Module/VD-01/VD-01e/vd-01e.html > > > > and no, I haven't, but it looks interesting! > > > > ----- > > Nick (11:40 AM 12/30/2009) wrote: > > >Happy New Year to all > > > > > >and has anyone tried the MFB VB-01 oscilloscope interface? > > > > > >Cheers, Nick > > > > > > > > > > > >------------------------------------ > > > > > >Yahoo!

The page doesn't say wether the output is PAL or NTSC - something to be wary of. Since it is made in Germany I would assume PAL. -James

just to be clear: so the idea is that the DSO can plug right into the VD-01? That would be sweet. How easy to build is the SMD mounted kit? Can any idiot who is very bad a soldering (i.e. me) do it? Or is it more an intermediate/advanced project?

no, the dso is a scope itself no need for the VD-01 at all here's a few pics of mine, first is the scope as it looks after building, the last two are after i mounted it into an abs box Paul http://privat.bahnhof.se/wb447909/phono/scope/17.jpg http://privat.bahnhof.se/wb447909/phono/scope/18.jpg http://privat.bahnhof.se/wb447909/phono/scope/19.jpg On Fri, Jan 1, 2010 at 5:36 PM, Richard Scott <richard_scott@rwnc.co.uk>wrote: > > > just to be clear: so the idea is that the DSO can plug right into the > VD-01?

oh and as for building the kit, its not that hard, its fidly since its all micro, but if you buy the pre mounted smd kit and have a fine soldering iron and a steady hand its not that bad at all, see pics 01.jpg and onwards for pics from my build ;) Paul On Fri, Jan 1, 2010 at 6:06 PM, phono 1337 <phono1337@gmail.com> wrote: > no, the dso is a scope itself no need for the VD-01 at all > > here's a few pics of mine, first is the scope as it looks after building, > the last two are after i mounted it into an abs box > > Paul > > http://privat.bahnhof.se/wb447909/phono/scope/17.jpg > http://privat.bahnhof.se/wb447909/phono/scope/18.jpg > http://privat.bahnhof.se/wb447909/phono/scope/19.jpg > > > > On Fri, Jan 1, 2010 at 5:36 PM, Richard Scott <richard_scott@rwnc.co.uk>wrote: > >> >> >> just to be clear: so the idea is that the DSO can plug right into the >> VD-01?

I have decided to get rid of some unused Doepfer
modules, as I am moving to a banana system/modding modules to banana jacks. I am based in East London
(UK) so local pickup is a possibility. You pay shipping etc...
All modules are in good condition, ask if you want different knobs
than the grey Doepfer - I have lots of these in various colours which I
can add:
http://www.rapidonline.com/Tools-Fasteners-Production-Equipment/Fasten ers-Fixings/Knobs/15mm-Three-colour-mixer-knobs/64709
All prices are GBP
I may be interested in trades (A-156 would be nice!)
Paypal payment, or otherwise if you're UK based.
Prices are fairly flexible, please ask.
All modules come with ribbon cables and screws.
Audio Divider A-115 = £33
High-End VCO A-111 = £147
Harvestman Malgorithm = £155
MFB VD-01 = £98
Cheers,
Charlie

thanks for the info. And your build documentation is nice to see. One last question: did your DSO need programming for modular use, or is the programming facility for more esoteric purposes?

Has anyone found a source for assembled DSO? (europe preferably) i was looking and found this alternative, which also looks very interesting http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/index.php?main_page=shopping_cart i hope this isn't all too off topic, but I'm guessing a lot of people will be interested.

no, it was good to go right away, the programming is for firmware updates. One thing i woudl say about the scope is that since its lcd its not got the refresh rate of a crt scope, i guess thats obvious but its always worth a mention ;-) I added a mini jack to mine so that i could plug it into a multiple on my modular and read waveforms there, but you could go the whole hog and make a panel, here's a link to a guy who did exactly that http://modularsynthesis.com/modules/DJB-019/djb019.htm there's also a video there of it in action Paul On Sat, Jan 2, 2010 at 9:38 AM, Richard Scott <richard_scott@rwnc.co.uk>wrote: > > > thanks for the info.
